dd multi-session CDs


Because of the physical state of some of my music CDs I've decided that now might be a good time to have an image of the more battered ones on my hard-drive.

Let's say that I have the Barenaked Ladies' Stunt in /dev/hdc. Not knowing any better I try the following
Code:
dd if=/dev/hdc of=/home/blt/stunt.iso
which promptly returns
Code:
dd: reading `/dev/hdc': Input/output error
After searching around on this forum, googling, and RTFM I think my problem is that audio CDs are multi-session, which dd can't handle. I think. I say that because the noise was so high that I really couldn't figure anything out. Most of the stuff I found pertained not to making and image of an audio cd but making an audio cd of an image.

Not what I needed.

So, could someone please explain to me how I could make an iso9660 image of a multi session CD using the command line tools?

Audio cds don't have a filesystem, so you can't make a ISO (iso9660 filesystem) from them. The best and nicer way would be to use a ripper and encode them to mp3 or ogg.
See: man cdparanoia
It's a utility included in a full Slackware install that works on console and rips audio tracks.

I knew that audio CDs didn't have a filesystem but I have frequently seen .iso's of audio CDs. I assumed then that it is quite possible to make an iso of an audio cd, and guessed that it'd be the International Organization for Standardization's standard 9660. I must have been wrong about that.

Nevertheless, it seems sort of cheap that I couldn't make some sort of one to one copy of my CD straight to the hard drive.

Also, I don't want to rip the tracks to mp3 or ogg . But thank you for suggesting something frightfully obvious. It had never occurred to me, what with the beige thing in my closet being a magic humming box that randomly brings forth music and porn.

I've just found this..
Quote:

Extract audio image from CD:
cdrdao read-cd --device 0,4,0 --buffers 64 --driver generic-mmc-raw --read-raw toc-file.toc
Creates file data.bin and table of contents file toc-file.toc. This is NOT a fast process.
here: http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/Lin...ialCDBurn.html
It's not a ISO image but it should work.

Also from another page: "cdda2wav enables you to get a specific interval (or a whole track) from your audio CD and converts it into a .wav-file. sox converts the WAV files back into the (audio CD) cdda-format so it can be written to the CD-R using cdrecord. You don't necessarily need sox if you use a recent version of cdrecord, because it has built-in support for .au and .wav files."

Have a look at cdrdao instead - this will not make an .iso file, but it will write a .bin/.cue combo, and can burn these two files back out to re-create the CD as well.
